Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
This 5 page report discusses the 1932 film Kuhle Wampe oder wem gehört die Welt, “Kuhle Wampe or Who Owns the World.” Kuhle Wampe deals with the rising unemployment in Germany during the 1930s and the fate of a family forced by unemployment and their desperate economic situation to move to the Berlin shantytown “Kuhle Wampe.” Hitler banned the film less than a year after it was released yet it has endured as Bertolt Brecht’s one truly successful foray into movie making. No secondary sources.
